| description | The National Heritage Act 2005, the only specific statute on the preservation
of cultural heritage is seen to have given a narrow definition and scope of
cultural heritage; unlike the broad scope of cultural heritage given by
authors. The differentiation between ‘Heritage’ and ‘National Heritage’ in
the National Heritage Act 2005 is provided in the Act and due to limited
literatures on the legal aspects of the administration of cultural heritage it is
timely that the administration of cultural heritage is disclosed. Apart from
focusing on the issue of scope of cultural heritage in Malaysia, this paper
highlights the significant role of the Commissioner of Cultural Heritage in the
Act and emphasises that it should be properly exercised. The absence of
archaeological impact assessment and the kind of protection provided to the
listed item or objects in the Register are also points highlighted in this paper.
The paper concludes with the recommendation that Malaysia should move
towards a more active participation in various international conventions
relating to preservation of cultural heritage. |
